The dynastology series was originally posted on Facebook as a series of "lessons" regarding the history of dynasties. These have since been moved to this blog with the numbers of the lessons removed. After the first 50 posts ended in 2010, the large articles became monthly. Currently, articles are sporadic, but the Monarch of the Day listings are daily. New articles to the primary series will be listed and linked here.
